Sooner or later we have to return to a real economy, not a propped up economy. I didn’t buy a car when cash for clunkers was around because I’m years away from needing a new car and didn’t want the debt. Would I have liked to have $15K from the taxpayers when I was buying my first house? Sure, I guess, though it seems a bit unfair. But that option wasn’t around at the time, even though interest rates were at 10% and the economy was in a recession. This something for nothing stuff can’t go on forever. Better get prepared to do things the old fashioned way.

I absolutely would buy a house if the credit were extended to $15,000 and we were allowed to use it as the down payment. I think the lack of down payment assistance is keeping a lot of qualified buyers out of the market now.
